Any criminal solicitor worth their salt will help you to prepare a written statement giving your account of events, read it out on your behalf and strongly advise you to say nothing.
The police are still human beings with human biases. If the interviewing officer has a gut instinct that you're guilty, they're highly liable to ask leading questions and try to put words in your mouth, even if they genuinely believe that they're being fair. Any inconsistencies in your account will be taken as indications of guilt and will be used against you if it goes to trial. "Just tell us what happened so we can clear things up" often means "I know you did it, so just hurry up and confess to everything".
Malice is not a prerequisite for a miscarriage of justice; the English system offers far better protection for criminal suspects, but it's by no means infallible.
